Marie Kondo also known as ” Konmarie” is a popular japanese organizing consultant, author and Tv presenter. A friend gave me this book a few weeks ago although I have already saw the konmarie folding method all over tik tok and youtube. It was a really interesting read, Marie kondo has such a complex personality and I like the way she describes her childhood in the book and lets you know her inner thoughts as she learned and grew into the sensation she is today.

The book is written so well and you will have a few ” aha ” moments while reading through the chapters, its so eye opening and makes you double think which items are stored at home. It also makes you see the appreciation in the items you use, love and adore.

What I thought I would learn VS What I actually learned

My expectation of what I would learn from this book was basically I thought I would learn to tidy up after myself, stop being lazy with washings and items scattered out of place. I thought it was just going to give me into trouble for not having things in order. What I actually learned was something so much deeper, marie kondo helped me realise that the items I keep are a reflection of my inner self, mental and spiritual. My space and items that I live with on a daily basis can hinder me or enlighten me. After getting half way through the book I knew marie kondo was on to something, she was right. Inspired more than ever to keep things that bring me joy, make life easier and things I simply love.
